–

A Knife in the Eye (2009) is an intimate and insightful documentary about MICHAËL BORREMANS and his work.

Directed by GUIDO DE BRUYN, the film enters into a captivating dialogue with the artistic accomplishments of BORREMANS whose enigmatic paintings and works on paper invent impressive, confusing and odd visual worlds in which he deals with the absurdity of human existence. Apart from his suggestive narratives, he also creates sculptures, miniature worlds, monuments and video – oscillating between reality and fantasy, fascination and irritation.

If you haven’t seen it yet, then it’s high time to catch up (ps. click on the “cc” button on the bottom right of the video for english subtitles)!
